Cholinergic activation of phasic activity in the isolated bladder: possible evidence for M3‐ and M2‐dependent components of a motor/sensory system

To analyse pressure changes induced by muscarinic agonists on the isolated bladder in order to examine whether there are different responses representing different components of a motor/sensory system within the bladder wall.
